About WorkBench by Novai- WBNSL
WBNSL is building a real-world AI-powered human assistance marketplace connecting customers to services with speed, trust, and operational excellence. This is not a VA role — this is a founding team opportunity.
We are hiring two people simultaneously:
1 Sales Operator (pipeline + outreach)
1 Operations Coordinator (delivery + onboarding)
You will work as a unit from Day 1.

Responsibilities:
- Build and execute onboarding workflows

How You Work Together

Compensation

= Ops: $8–12/hr + performance incentives based on merit / experience / fit
- 13th-month bonus (pro-rated)
Growth into leadership roles an option for the right candidates
Who This Is For

- You take ownership and think like a builder
- You communicate clearly and proactively
- You care about the person on the other side of the task

2. Screening Questions (WBNSL-Specific)
Core Questions (Both Roles)
- Explain a time you had to work with someone remotely and something went wrong. What did you do?
- If a client is unhappy but not clearly saying why, how do you handle it?
- What does “ownership” mean to you in a remote role?
- What would you do if your teammate is slowing down your work?
- Why do you want to be part of an early-stage startup vs a stable job?
Sales-Specific Questions:
- Show how you would research a local business before contacting them.
- Write a 2-sentence cold
- Record a short Loom explaining a service (test clarity + confidence).
- What makes someone respond to cold outreach today?
- What information would you ALWAYS pass to operations after closing a client?
Operations-Specific Questions
- Build a simple onboarding checklist for a new client.
- How do you ensure nothing falls through the cracks?
- What tools do you prefer for tracking work and why?
- If Sales promises something unrealistic, what do you do?
- How do you prioritize when everything feels urgent?
Pair Evaluation Questions (Critical)
(For both candidates- separate responses)
- Sales just closed a client. Walk through the exact handoff process.
- Ops says onboarding will take 3 days, Sales promised 1 day. Resolve it live.
- A client sends unclear instructions. Who owns clarification?
- How often should you communicate without the founder involved?
- What is missing/wrong or amazing that you see in this opportunity?
Thank you.
